Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

XTO

45.00

XTO Energy Inc. (XTO)

Jim:   Alright, Janice I am glad that you called me, because to tell you the truth I do not like the tenor of the Congress on this XTO… and the hearings that they have had this week about natural gas.. our President refuses to put the word natural with gas… which tells me that this is a very out of favor fuel… Exxon has a clause which says that they can walk away from the XTO deal if hydraulic fracking, which is the revolutionary different technology that they use, is in trouble… so therefore on Monday, I need you to lock in a gain of XTO… and we will find you a high yielding oil… or maybe a master limited partnership, if not Energy… which is that propane company that I like, give you a 7.5% yield… I need you to sell XTO… you pull the trigger.

TNDM

15.19

Neutral Tandem, Inc. (TNDM)

Jim:   Remember, we went over that, this is really a commodity company … there are some people that who feel like it has proprietary software, to switch phone companies back and forth, we looked at it and decided that it was too dangerous… and we are reiterating… man, I tell you, we have yet to like a stock in this Lightning Round… I am starting to panic… I am panicking out like all of the people who sold at the bottom today.

C

3.22

Citigroup (C)

Jim:   342 days, maybe give or take 3 hours… no, I cannot tell, I mean here is the thing… first of all Vikram Pandit (CEO)...  everyday you look at the papers, he is supposed to be fired… those are stories being planted by people… because Vikram Pandit is not being fired, he is doing a good job… secondly, here is what you need to know… that stock has held the price that it did that deal at… third, I think that Citigroup is going to be 60% international and 40% domestic by 2012... finally, the book value here is $4 and change… it deserves to sell at premium to book… I think that it can make a dollar, if they did not force them to do all that stock… the stock would be at $5 already… and I do like… hallelujah.

SWC

10.28

Stillwater Mining Co. (SWC)

Jim:   Um, you know it is not my favorite… you had a good run, I do like precious metals… I think you need to be in the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD)… okay, the GLD is better, that is for gold… I am reiterating gold again, it is being brought down again only by hedge funds selling.

TM

74.71

Toyota Motor Corp. (TM)

Jim:   Alright, you know what? This is what I used to call at my old hedge fund a battle ground, I mean this thing could go up 10 or down 10... I cannot be in battle grounds… not when I have a man like Alan Mulally, who is working for us every minute of the day… Alan Mulally, who reminds us, to serve is to live… he has got a preferred that is in arrears, it can be a fabulous security… I want you in Ford (F), not Toyota… why court situations where the brakes, the accelerator… Ford is back and better than ever.
